shutdown issues and unexpected quits

The box you see on the screen telling you to restart is simply Jaguar's manifestation of a kernel panic.

The rest, I don't know.

I sort of preferred the old kernel panics... kind of neat to see those last few lines of Unix before everything came screeching to a halt.

i had this issue a few versions ago.

the problem was an usb-device (isdn-modem in my case) but everything went well since an update of osx.

also make sure you got the latest driver for all your stuff

cheers

The first issue is a Kernel Panick. I had the same issues with the comp using up a lot of the CPU doing nothing. I was told to reset the PRAM and if that did not work I was told to reinstall the operating system (clean). After that it has been fine (so far!)

I also have a DP 1.25 and have had some similar issues.

I don't have a kernel panic on shut down, I get them on occasion waking from sleep. I updated USB drivers, have all the latest OS updates have even in the past done a clean install, but I can't seem to get rid of them. It crashes often enough to be annoying but not often enough that it's a problem.

Currently I have some issues with Mail and Safari, quitting on launch or not launching when I wake from sleep. I haven't tried resetting the PMU or zapping the pram for this current issue.

So I think I have some system cleaning to do, the usual repairing permissions hasn't helped on the last problem. I don't want to do a clean install, I'll wait until 10.3 comes out and then I'll do clean install.

fsck -y seems to be a magic bullet for things, but I don't know enough of the details of what it does or the "proper" way to execute it, so I am holding off till I do a little more reading. Anybody have a good link?

I love the DP 1.25 but my G3 Powerbook never crashed or kernel panicked with Jaguar. My 1.25 is not as stable, which is a drag... but it is an assload faster...

I've seen both kernel panics in 10.2. We have a G3 B&W at work and it sometimes does the whole kernel panic where a bunch of code is shot across the screen.

I had same problem. Was caused by cannon scanner button manager. Run process viewer to find out exact filename of button manager then Go to /library/CFMsupport and move it out to a new folder named CFMsupport-disabled. My next restart took only 30 seconds, and havent had any unexpected quits yet
